l'REPuBLICANsu IN BUCKRAM.

The Sentinel mourns because SO many Re-
publicans are still holding positions in the
departments at Washington, and calls on the
President to "turn the rascals out" It says:
ave have been at some pains to obtain the
names of these Republicans who are content
to draw salaries under presumably Demo-
cratic administration. Following are some
of the cases it enumerates in the Postofice
Department:
''Topographer w. Il. Nicholson, at So, 5OO."
Mr. Nicholson is not in office. He was pro-
fessional draughtsman and topographer, with
out any politics to speak of. Some time ago
he was bounced and Democrat named
Enright, from Michigan was appointed in his
place. Enright has no qualifications for tho
position. The appointment was made on the
request of Don Dickinson,sof Detroit, for
purely political reasons. Enright knows
nothing of map-making, calls .'ordinates7
ordinances, writes "Calafornfa,' etc.
"Third Assistant Postmaster general Hazen,
at So, 500.' Hazen had risen from ST. 900 clerk
to be head of a bureau; was valuable officer,
and Postmaster-g general Villas kept him as
long as he could; but he was removed April |,
and Southern Democrat appointed to his
place who knows nothing about postal affairs
superintendent of the money-order sys-
tenn, Charles F. Mcdonald, at $780," DR..
Mcdonald was appointed during the admins
tration of Franklin Pierce, and is Democrat
from away back. He is the father of the
money order system in this country, and an
accomplished officer. No Republican admin
Illustration ever thought of removing him.
'Chief clerk of First Assistant Postmaster
general, James H. Mari, at $780," Mr.
MARI was appointed as Democrat during the
administration of Andrew jackson, and has
been in Office ever since. He is the Oldest
official in continuous service in Washington,
with perhaps the exception of one other aged
Democrat who held on through every Repub-
lican administration. Mr. MARI is quite de-
crepit, and has done very little work for some
years past; but on account of his age and
long service every Republican administration
for several years past made him an extra al.
lowance of $500 in addition to his regular sal.

same. We doubt if Democrat could be

that. There is no richer and stronger Ian
German. But the merits of the German Ian
guage do not enter into the question before
the School Board. We are very sure that the
people of this city. who pay the taxes to sup
port the public schools, will not long be con-
tent, either to allow the board to run into
debt, or to refuse to younger children the
schooling in the English branches guaranteed
them by the Constitution in order to keep up
an expensive curriculum in the high-school.
The board is not confronted with problem
merely of desire or inclination; it is one of
imperative necessity and of the greatest good
to the greatest number.

LIQUOR IN THE ELECTIONS.

The prohibition amendment is defeated in
Michigan. The county Of Wayne, in which
the city of Detroit is situated, sends up ma
jority of thousands against it, while, on the
other hand, the country counties very general
ly and very largely voted in its favor. In this
respect the vote in Michigan is counterpart
to what the vote would be in every State of the
Union, and is and should be striking and
emphatic lesson to be learned by everybody
who is in earnest in the work of temperance
reform, so-called, or the work of regulating
and restricting the liquor traffic. The vote
in Michigan shows that the people favor
and vote for prohibition amendment in just
the localities where such law is least needed,
while the people vote against such regula-
ton by large and decisive majorities in the
localities where practical and effective
legislation is most demanded. No
ons doubts that such would be the
fact in Indiana were prohibition amend
ment submitted to vote of the people of
this State. 1t must not be thought or said
that the fifteen thousand majority against
prohibition in Detroit or the undoubtedly
large majority against prohibition that would
be revealed in Marion county under similar
test, are 'whiskyites,' or the friends of the
saloon traffic Contrariwise, very large per

WHEN Mr.. G. S. Fairchild left the Office Of
Attorney general of the State of New York,
the Times Of that city referred to him as a
compounder of thieves, whitewasher of
public plunderers, and a "ridiculously feeble

Secretary Of the Treasury, the Times regards
him divinely ordained statesman and fnan-
cier. This is the effect of mugwumpery on a
naturally weak intellect.

There are a great many prominent
business men in every city of the Union.
Some are brought into prominence
through politics, others by the wealth
they possess, and others by various
means. Again, man is brought into
prominence by his own energy and
pushing business tact. Among the lat
ter class there is none more highly re-
spected and better known than Hiram

the Minnesota Farming Implement Co.,

also does large real estate business in
connection with the experimenting of

able reputation for his many business
qualifications and as natural conse-

however, has not always enjoyed the
